A lead sphere of density `rho=11.3xx10^(3)"kg m"^(-3)` is steadily in glycerine `(rho'=1260"kg m"^(-3)` and `eta=1.4"N s m"^(-2).)` What is the maximum diameter of the sphere till which the flow around the sphere remains laminar? It is given that transition to turbulent flow corresponds to Reynolds number Re = `0.5`.
